Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first and only "Voyager" episode to feature the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. The fleet yards were seen previously in a picture in Parallels (1993) and as a holographic simulation in Booby Trap (1989). Utopia Planitia would be seen again in three episodes of Star Trek: Picard (2020).
- GoofsWhen Seven goes back to stardate 49123, she is captured by Janeway and Tuvok. Under interrogation, Seven admits to being a member of Voyager's crew from the future. As Janeway summarizes the situation, she says, "Let's see if I've got this straight: You're a Borg drone, attempting to prevent a disaster that won't occur for another three years..." But Seven hadn't said from how far in the future she was.
- Quotes
[Paris has asked Seven to partner with him in the ping-pong doubles tournament, which she declines]
Tom Paris: Too bad. Well, I guess I'll have to tell B'Elanna that you thought you couldn't beat her.
Seven of Nine: You're attempting to appeal to my vanity.
Tom Paris: Is it working?
Seven of Nine: I will consider your request.

Featured review
Now that's what I call a time-bomb!
Our friend Captain Braxton from "futures end" visits Voyager again, actually visits Voyager for the first time. The last time we saw him he was a bag man at the Long Beach pier it looked like. Oh, it was the Santa Monica pier. Southern California is all one boardwalk when it comes to beaches.
Allan Royal played that first rendition of Braxton, this time it was MacGyver's constant pilot, Bruce McGill. Who, ironically, was also in the 1994 film "Timecop" with Jean-Luc Picard Van Damme. So although I hate that they have to change actors occasionally, they chose a good person to do it this time
But, there was no Sarah Silverman, no place to put her. I never knew that they had been considering her to join the cast of Voyager after futures end.
This is a pretty unusual time travel story, it's not just happening between two different times, it is occurring at several different times, at once.
And captain Braxton, from his perch on the starship, timeship, "relativity", can snap up any person from Voyager's crew and put them anywhere in the past.
He warns everybody that he chooses, to watch out for the "Janeway factor". Unfortunately that is not something that can be done...
By the time 3/4 of this episode has traversed, we have lost 3/4 of our hair trying to keep up with all of these different segments of the story.
I love it! You can't have Star Trek without some convoluted time travel story and this is probably one of the best ones, of course this show was produced by Brannon Braga, who is the king of the star trek time travel stories. He was very good with them.
This episode was also a very good excuse to exploit Jeri Ryan. Especially when she is playing against herself...
